What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Middle of the week again … they are coming around at record speed, or it may be that I am getting slower!

For the initiated, TNT means Thick and Thin, which is how the curves are formed in these designs with no curved seams to sew. I like the one above, but like it more with just a slight change shown below.

I have reached design 100 in this project file, and there are over 400 as yet unseen designs in waiting, and they all use assorted combinations of just six blocks, or more correctly six colourways of one block. If ...

Middle of the week and there are five Log Cabin designs for you to study over a coffee break.

I like the first one.

All the blocks are Curved Log Cabin blocks, also known as Thick and Thin Log Cabin, some with light one side and dark the other, others are all either light or dark.

I like the one above too …

More Log Cabin designs next week … mid week.

Very dainty! Not something I would say about many Log Cabin ...

In this project file I used one block, and two variations of colour placement in that block. In each design I have used just one of the colour variations, which means that the quilt designs are positive and negative versions of the same layout. Log Cabin quilts can vary quite a lot when the colours are reversed, but with the Curved Log Cabin blocks, also known as Thick and Thin Log Cabin, the variation creates some stark changes in the results.

From now on I must remember to share these designs in equal numbers … but today you see an odd ...

Middle of the week, time for a short coffee retreat from the daily grind. So let’s look at some Log Cabin designs!

The TNT in the title of this project file is shorthand for Thick and Thin, also known as Curved Log Cabin.

I love the one above!

The one above is interesting too, and I might just have to play with it when i have finished preparing this post.

Very interesting too!

That is all for this week’s Log Cabin retreat, but as usual there will be another one next week!

Now, if you will excuse me ...
